Edith Carlson Gallery

Sun, Oct 2 2011 - Sun, Feb 19 2012

The Edith Carlson Gallery is endowed by the estate of Edith Carlson, a self-described “little farm girl from Minnesota” who went on to become an accomplished artist. She chose the Weisman for the bequest because she admired the museum’s strong holdings in art by women. The new gallery will allow WAM to showcase works on paper, which comprise roughly two-thirds of the museum’s collection. Due to the delicate nature of the paper, many of these works have not had a chance to be exhibited.
